Also, who cared about Rudy? Dean had already:

- killed the Frankenstein kid

- beaten Cas very badly and almost killed him

point = driven home.

Dean had also already tried to ‘work cases’ to keep the mark at bay all season. It was already clear from the disaster of 10.22 that that didn’t work. So why waste time for the Rudy+case plot when it was so redundant? Imo there were far more important things to choose to show in a finale for this season.

Similarly, now I don’t get why show us Dean having a nightmare once, focused on Sam only, and then drop it, and only tell us he’s getting worse. So is Dean actually worried about the prophecy coming true or was that just a one-off symptom? Also, even if you use the prophecy as a red herring (which I though it was anyway, so not surprised there), why don’t you actually commit to using it as a red herring, and have Dean be very worried about it?

This way it wasn’t even a red herring, it was just… pointless? Imagine Dean getting constant nightmares/visions of killing Cas and Sam, his whole family dead in the bunker, and then you get to 10.22… Of course after he doesn’t kill Cas you can guess he won’t kill Sam either, but that is when the audience realizes it was a red herring and starts shitting themselves because they forgot to pay more attention to the real dangers.

Also: we were told Sam was being too extreme, but then Dean was suddenly a real threat again which apparently could only be achieved via killing Charlie. Because obviously they couldn’t actually show him getting worse, then injure Charlie badly and have that be a tipping point. So what was the point of .17-19? wouldn’t it have been more logical to, again, show more nighmares/actual symptoms & still commit to the theme of Sam being too extreme? This way Dean could go off the rails but they could keep the theme of the codependency having dangerous consequences because tunnel vision? And I didn’t make up 10.19 so I’m pretty confident there was a point about going tunnel vision and it being bad there.
